I hope Cam wins the Heisman, too. I would also like Auburn to win the national title: only to expose the hypocrisy of the NCAA. If Auburn were 8-4 and not in contention to win the SEC and the BCS national championship, I have a feeling that Cam would be ruled ineligible to play.

As of right now, the Miami Heat are a huge disappointment. They were supposed to be a huge ratings draw because they were going to sashay their way through the Eastern Conference. But how much can you hate the Heat if their around a .500 team? People only hate teams that are championship...

How smart does Josh McDaniels look today? He traded Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, and Peyton Hillis. McDaniels may be a brilliant offensive strategist, but his evaluation of personnel is suspect.

I like Jon Gruden as a TV analyst, but I think "Chucky" is living off past glory. Since he won the Super Bowl in 2003, his Bucs only made the postseason twice. And he had a difficult time settling on a quarterback. But maybe he will be even better the second time around . . . in the NFL...

Don't forget Parrish's teammate - Ken "The Rattler" Riley.

I certainly like the word "top" better than "greatest." When I hear the word "greatest," it could mean most significant or most consequential. When ESPN did its SportsCentury 50 Greatest Athletes List of All-Time in 1999, I automatically assumed that Jackie Robinson would be Number 1. To me...

I agree. Cleveland and Seattle both beat out Philly - in my mind. San Diego is only a 2 sport city. The Clippers bolted for LA from San Diego in the mid '80s.

In one word, nope!!!

The biggest worst to finish turnaround in NFL history (in the regular season, that is) was the Indianapolis Colts going from a 3-13 record in 1998 to a 13-3 record in 1999. Now, they didn't even get to the conference championship because they lost their first playoff game in the divisional...

Yep, I remember when he coached Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble. They were fun to watch. But I think he was more suited for college than the pros. Other than Billick, Switzer, and Westhead, I can't think of too many "worst championship coaches." Tom Flores, George Siefert, Joe Altobelli? It's...

I still like them and watch them. They're the only other college football team I like, but my heart is with Tech.

The USC Trojans. Mike Garrett, OJ, McKay, JK McKay, Anthony Davis, Charles White, John Robinson, Marcus Allen, Running Back U, the White Horse, the band, Pat Haden, the 1974 USC-Notre Dame blowout, the Rose Bowl victories over Ohio State & Michigan (particularly the 18-17 squeaker in the '74-75...

Well-stated. Precisely why I think the '72 Dolphins is the least liked championship team ever.

Maybe Switzer with the Cowboys, but that is muddied in my mind by his success at Oklahoma. Other than Billick, one guy who comes to my mind is Paul Westhead. But that was more for the fact that he tried to change what made the '79-80 Lakers a success after they won the title, not for his...

I usually watch most of the primtime coverage for the Olympics. I am a big fan of track & field, swimming, and gymnastics.
